A quick definition of full adversary hearing:

A full adversary hearing is a legal meeting where a judge decides on issues of fact or law. It can be open to the public and may involve witnesses giving testimony. There are different types of hearings, such as administrative, juvenile, and family law hearings. In some cases, the hearing is used to determine if someone should be released from custody or if a child should be removed from their home due to neglect or abuse. The purpose of the hearing is to give everyone a fair chance to present their arguments and evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

A full adversary hearing is a legal proceeding where both parties present their arguments and evidence to a judge or decision-maker. This type of hearing is usually open to the public and can be used to decide issues of fact or law.

For example, in a criminal case, a full adversary hearing may be held to determine whether DNA evidence is admissible. In a child abuse or neglect case, a full adversary hearing may be held to decide whether the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the child.

Overall, a full adversary hearing is an important part of the legal process that allows both parties to present their case and ensures a fair and just outcome.

Hi everyone
19:57
honestly for as many good things as carter did after his presidency, i don't think there's much reason to say good things about his presidency.

dude was sponsoring the El Salvadorian death squad regime that killed St. Oscar Romero
19:58

He wasn’t a great president obviously, but I think what he did post-presidency probably is at the top of all presidents

idk and maybe yall are onto something; maybe the news just wants something good to talk about: he was a decent guy/ try to do good like him hoo raa hoo raa (nothing wrong with this)
21:11
I think the thing a lot of people miss with the Carter administration is that there's a difference between being a "bad" President like a James Buchanan and being an ineffective one
21:12
He wasn't suited to the job, but there have been Presidents who weren't suited to the job and did just fine because they were President during easy times -- Carter wasn't so lucky, and to the extent that he failed, he failed, but people forget that he was also a very shrewd politician and could even be a bit of a bully at times, usually to his own detriment
21:14
I have a mixed opinion of both his administration and post-Presidency, but the things that really stand out to me about Carter actually come from before he entered national politics; namely, the Chalk River nuclear reactor incident, while he was in the Navy, and his strategy in winning the gubernatorial nomination and general election in 1970
21:15
He played both sides of the civil rights issue and then immediately turned around and became perhaps the most racially progressive Southern Governor of the 20th century

@swagadocious: yeah agreed on the nuke save, good point- that could have been devastating
21:17
Maybe there's a case Terry Sanford was a bit more liberal, but Carter's position was more politically gutsy, being in the Deep South

@getmoney: I think Eggan hit the nail on the head: u are positioned nicely, if you do not get the outcome that works for you, you can always retake/ reapply. Else, u could just cover the T50-T200 with apps. But u should be good how u are
